April is a 15-year-old Reticulated giraffe who lives at the Animal Adventure Park (AAP) with her 5-year-old mate Oliver “Ollie” April is 15-months-pregnant and all signs indicate active labor and the birth of her calf could begin at any moment. April became a household name when in mid-February, the live cam park owner Jordan Patch set up went viral. Since then, millions have been glued to the live stream waiting for word that active labor had started and calf’s hooves were visible. Since April’s original due date was wrong, the live cam’s viewers have been watching and waiting for over a month. Many are worried they will miss April’s active labor as well as the birth of her calf.
